Question:

166. Deputy Alan Farrell asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the status of the Industrial Relations (Provisions in Respect of Pension Entitlements of Retired Workers) Bill 2021; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [61033/21]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment

The Government has agreed to a timed amendment to the Industrial Relations (Provisions in Respect of Pension Entitlements of Retired Workers) Bill 2021.

This will allow time, as I outlined on the floor of the Dáil, to examine the issues carefully and to ensure that all stakeholders are consulted.

I have given the matter careful consideration and to this end a consultation process will commence as soon as possible and will involve engagement with organisations representing retired workers.

Question No. 167 answered with Question No. 104.
